I used the same 2GB version of this card and it was really good before it overheated and died. I was able to play quite a lot of games with this without an issue. Now I have an RX 580 4GB model and it is a BEAST, but I can't say that HD 6950 wasn't a beast as well.
Yes i still have a Gigabyte version of the HD6950 in use, this one got 3 fans and 1GB memory sadly, but still works; using it for older titles in a budget PC i built just for fun. I bought this card back in 2011 to play Skyrim on it and i used it for several years
Adoro o fato de você fazer testes com VGAs antigas e baratas também. Todo mundo já sabe que uma 3090 roda qualquer coisa, é chato de ver. Mas uma HD6950 torna tudo mais interessante kkkkkkk
The chip is the same as the HD 6970, vbios locked to less shaders. So you can put the vbios of the HD6970 on this card (have done it on that exact model) to unlock extra performance and it's pretty good!
not on everyone i had this exact card aswell, and it was not software locked, i flashed the bios and still had less shaders. they began to lasercut in late 2010.
It is crazy how if devs(and i understand this would be a TON of work to do) optimize for older hardware still that this card with its 2 gigs of ram could probably run most of these titles with a 10-15fps boost over how they are running now. I do not blame them because it would be a ton of work but would still be nice, especially with GPU prices right now. Also that slow mo in Apex is on their server side. happens often
Great video as always! It reminds me of my first laptop. I got it as a gift. The specs was Radeon HD 6770M + i5-2410M. It was capable of running any game from 2010-2014 in native resolution (1366×768p).
I’ve been loving the older amd/ati gpus I have a 4890 that I’ve paired with a q9400 for a windows xp retro pc and besides being loud it’s a pretty beastly card for what I’ve been using it for.
I just build my first pc and my dad had this still at home so I used it. Even though its pretty old I think it will work fine for me! Thanks for your video :)
@@edga7490 Those old cards eventually stop being useful, that one is more than 12 years old... Even intel integrated gpus are far better and they also suck.
People having 6950 back then often used to flash a 6970 bios on it and it unlocked some more performances. I still have my 6970 on my old rig and it still plays fine.
Yooo, I really thought people just forgot the HD series existed because you see them talked about so rarely. Really cool to see my old GPU being talked about!
6950 was my first gpu. It ran everything except Skyrim for some reason. Skyrim had this weird issue where textures didn’t load properly. I would probably be able to fix it now but my naive 12 year old self never figured it out. Good card for the time nonetheless. Got a free copy of Bioshock Infinite with it so all good.
Can unlock 1536 shaders in radeon bios editor for most of the 6950s. Had one from 2015- late 2017. If you do unlock shaders and oc to like 910/1350 or so with +20 power it'll run faster as they were a bit neutered. 900p is probably the best overall res. Fermi aged better due to longer driver support. I wonder these days how it stacks up to a 560 ti.
Vbios flash for shader unlock as well as OC (which it can handle quite a bit of), makes this a great budget card for kids without money who just wanna play esports titles. I get some of these cards for like 10 bucks occasionally and put them in old workstations to flip for that reason in particular
heyyyyyyy dude i watch all ue vids....u really r fun to watch idky but i rather watch u trying out gpus than looking at ppl slapping each other with breads . :) :)
Install the 6970 bios on it and unlock more shaders. Most of the 6950s had dual bios with a hardware switch on the gpu. Mine was Sapphire dirt3 edition that blew a transistor and started a small fire :( Great work,yo!
I got myself a 6950 today, before this I was using a gt620.....yes...a gt620 2gb card in 2021. So I think upgrading to a Radeon 6950 is a huge step up. Not like I want to play the newest titles out there, but at least some good games like Fallen Order
Powerful card ...one thing I have noticed is that, the performance of amd cards are stable , but if it is to be nvidia de performance always drops when used for a long time
Back in 2010 I bought a Radeon XFX 6850 with 1GB of VRAM for about 160-170 euros. For the life of me I can't remember what I did with that GPU or even that PC lol.
I had one of these or a 6970, I cant remember but it was my first card that had more then one fan and was used for more then just a extra output connector. I had to upgrade it and buy a gtx 960 due to it stuttering like mad on fallout 4. . .Then found out it was my crappy FX CPU that was causing it and I could have gotten more life out of the card. If i remember correctly, I flashed mine to a hd 6970 a few years into its lifespan and it helped some.
My Vega 56 just died last week (Probably bad capacitor or VRM). I had to install my backup HD 6950 from storage. Lets see if I can fix the Vega 56. If not, will wait for 3 to 6 months and hope prices for Radeon 6800 XT or equivalent fall back to earth.
Try to flash HD 6970 bios into this card. You should get some more fps in games where vram is not filled up all the time :D Ofc messing with bios can cause problems but it's worth to check :>

definitely but they just dropped support after 6 years
This GPU performance is slightly equal to my 2017 Laptop with AMD Radeon 530 4GB DDR5 😱
If AMD and NVIDIA had any moral compass they would update drivers for the older generation cards that are still capable of gaming on a budget.
